* VindicatedByHistory: While it was somewhat favorably received by critics on release, for a long time ''Crash of the Titans'' received massive backlash from fans who considered it alongside ''Mind Over Mutant'' the death knell of the franchise thanks to the heavily changed BeatEmUp gameplay and the very controversial character redesigns. Following the revival of the franchise with the ''[[VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy N. Sane Trilogy]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime It's About Time]]'', quite a few fans and reviewers ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQJ-SH-4X4I Example 1]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYAIgXS8GZQ Example 2]], [[https://youtu.be/nw1VF8Zo1EI Example 3]]) have started to look back on ''Titans'' with renewed fondness, with many of them considering ''Titans'' a good game in its own right despite abandoning the fast-paced precision that ''Crash'' is known for. At the very least, many will argue that ''Titans'' is far superior to ''Mind Over Mutant'' due to the latter's misguided attempts to inject nonlinearity into the formula.

This is not what Narm is. The trope is for serious moments that are unintentionally funny, which neither of these are. The second example also conversates with the first one, which is a big no-no.


* {{Narm}}: Cutscenes that feature either Coco, or Aku-Aku tend to fall in this category due to both of them having sudden LargeHam tendencies in the game. It's especially bad with Coco, who spends third of her screentime throwing boring insults at the villains.
* NarmCharm: On the other hand, the mentioned two having [[NotSoAboveItAll quirkier personalities]] also makes their interactions with Crash in particular more endearing, since they relate to him better and have more equal footing dynamics in an oddball sort of way. Crash also has a more earnest side around them to contrast his strange babbling persona. This is to the point some prefer their dynamic in this game over the one their unflanderized characters have in ''It's About Time'', which is [[StrictlyFormula restrictively back]] to "IdiotHero vs contemptuous StraightMan".

* LowTierLetdown: The Stench is pretty unanimously considered the worst Titan in the game. It's a projectile-type Titan that attacks through {{Fartillery}}, but its projectiles are sluggish, it has slow fiting speed, and its special attack is the same as Snipe's but effectively downgraded due to using the aforementioned stench bombs. Many players only use this Titan when absolutely necessary, as otherwise it's borderline a hinderance.

* GoodBadBugs: The newly implemented co-op mode comes with a rather interesting glitch known by speed runners as the “Ultra Jump”. One player presses the button to jump into the other Crash’s backpack, while the other player drops out. The animation forces Crash into the air far higher than he should be able to, allowing players to circumvent barriers and level geometry, [[{{Irony}} which means most speed runs will be doing much more platforming than combat]].

** A close second to the Battler is the Sludge, which has a nasty reach with its basic attacks and can sink into the ground to evade damage (while also recovering) before delivering a devastating uppercut. The devs seem to be aware of how powerful Sludges are as [[SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity there's usually a Free Jack Mask or weaker Titan nearby them]].

* AwesomeArt: The concept art of the game is gorgeous to look at, and the in-game graphics showing off a tribal-punk aesthetic makes the game stand out even more from other ''Crash'' games.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Some fans theorize the reason Radical Entertainment decided to change Tiny from a tazmanian tiger to a siberian tiger is because the studio never actually heard of a tazmanian "thylacine" tiger before, and actually thought Tiny was a siberian tiger. Whether this is actually the case or not is debatable.

* DemonicSpiders: Many Titan types can qualify when they attack you in packs, but the most fitting are the Battlers, who can easily kill you with their combo even if you against them one-on-one, and trying to get away from them only results in them attaking with tornadoes.
